liner notes:
Professional : My day started off pretty good. I responded to some community questions and did some research to answer them. Did some other tasks and then went back to a project that I started before taking my vacation. I went to the GitHub repo and it was not there anymore! haha Apparently, they did a big update to the library and have a totally different way of implementation. I started to look through the docs and that is when I had a meeting. After the meeting, I went back to the docs. They had new examples and demos. One was pretty cool, but unfortunately it was written using React. haha Normally, I don't care, but I ran into so many issues trying to get it to run. There are so many dependencies! Following the instructions didn't work. I tried 3 different ways to download and install the dependencies on 2 different platforms! One dependency didn't have an actual version number, it had "catalog:" which a lot of the package managers didn't understand what to do with that, even though the instructions said to use an install command, but it didn't work. I had to put in the latest version of the library into the package.json so that I could successfully download the MANY dependencies. Then I ran the command to start the development server, the page opened up, took a second to load and then an error popped up on screen saying that some library wasn't found! haha I wanted to run the application to see the library I'm interested in working, not try and debug the application just to get it to run. Getting the demo application to run would be the easy part I would think. I gave up and will start from scratch. I'm not going to be runnin' and searchin' to figure out why libraries I'm not interested in are not working. I'll work on it tomorrow.
Personal : Contrary to my workday, last night I was really productive with coding on my side project! haha I was able to implement a section of the code I had AI create into my actual application and hooked it up to Firebase Firestore. I can now list, create, edit and delete clients. I had the AI generate just vanilla JavaScript with no dependencies. That allows me to be able to add code to my application and connect it to my backend. There were no random dependency of a dependency that blocked me. I even vibe coded another application that I've been meaning to create. It wanted to use React and I stopped it right in its track and told it to use Vanilla JavaScript! haha
Next up for my side project is to be able to list, create, edit and delete items. This is a little more involved with more parts to keep track of, but the AI sample app has a lot of it working. I want to be able to add images and videos so I need to figure out how and where I want to upload the files and get the URLs to add to my item. I was looking into a couple of options, but I may just go with what is the easiest for me right now and I can always change it later. I've also been slowly but surely setting up the printer. I added the ink cartridges, filter and other parts. Only thing left is to install the app and walk through the set up. I'll do that tomorrow, because it's getting dark and it's supposed to be really cold tonight. Going to eat dinner, work on getting the items functionality working. If I can get that working, then I can jump to the application that the clients will see, work on the log in function since they are now in the database and make it so they can buy the item and create an order that I will then be able to see in the admin dashboard that I've been working on. My goal is to get the adding/editing/listing of items and client login working. I'd also like to go through tracks for the radio show. I'm out!
Have a great night!
peace piece
